Can You Juice Peaches?

You sure can! Because stone fruits don’t have a high amount of water content, they usually give a little less juice than other fruits. But, it’s still possible and we ap-peach-iate every single drop we can get! Although peaches are sometimes best blended into smoothies, they can also be particularly pleasant just juiced up.

How To Make Peach Juice

Making fresh juice in your very own kitchen is a peach of cake! The key is to use the sweetest, freshest peaches that you can find. If you’re unlucky in the peach picking department, try using frozen peaches that are thawed overnight. Because frozen peaches are picked at the peak of ripeness, they tend to have a better flavor than slightly unripe peaches.

• Thoroughly rinse the peaches. Pat gently to dry.
• Peel (optional) and then cut the peaches into thick slices.
• Add peach slices to the juicer about two at a time.
• Collect the juice, add the lemon juice and sweetener, if desired. Whisk well.
• Enjoy immediately!

What Is Peach Juice Good For?

Besides being a heavenly, hydrating beverage, there are a couple of ways to use peach juice in other recipes. Consider adding a splash of sparkling water (peach or lemon flavored would be tasty!), club soda, or even a lemon-lime soda in place of the water for a special occasion spritzer. Serve in a fancy, fluted glass with peach slices on the side and a sprig of mint.

You can also swap out plant-milk for peach juice in a smoothie recipe (especially strawberry!) or even mix the vibrant juice with a bit of white balsamic vinegar and olive oil for a fantastic fruity dressing!

How Do I Store Any Leftover Peach Juice?

Homemade peach juice will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure to shake before drinking, since the juice might begin to separate a little. This is totally normal and a quick shake will bring it back together again.

You can also freeze the remaining juice by pouring it into an ice cube tray. Freeze overnight. You can then place the peach ice cubes into a freezer-safe bag or container for future use. Excellent for adding to seltzer water, fizzy drinks, iced teas, or lemonades. The frozen fruit juice cubes will last up to 6 months, if stored properly.

Equipment You’ll Need

If you already have a juicer, there’s not much else that you need. Once you get the juice extracted (fast and fun!), just add in the sweetener, lemon juice, and fancy liquid of choice.

• Measuring Spoons
• Measuring Cups
• Juicer (or Blender and fine-mesh sieve)
• Cutting Board
• Sharp Paring Knife
